Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions precisely. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe loses its shape
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their original form. Store them in a dust bag or their original box.
Water marks on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Applying a suede protector spray regularly can help prevent future water stains.
Uneven nap on suede
